first sequencer, used by the first samplers

Awesome thanks for posting!

I find stuff like this so inspirational, true innovation. For anyone else who is interested in any other experimental stuff from this time period check out the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

the first sequencer IMO is something like this



I really like the sound of those music boxes. Just like I like the sound of Rhodes/Wurlizer pianos.

That's a pretty fair point actually! I wonder how old the traditional Westminster Chime is on old clocks?

There's also those crazy old pianolas that take a scroll and you play it on a regular piano but using special pedals. Crazy clockwork inventions!

in Italy we call it musica meccanica (automatic music)
